This was an amazing Safari, It ticked all boxes and went beyond any of my expectations. It was marred only by the post tour arrangements organised by Intrepid Travel, at our request on booking, was discovered to be excessive in cost.

The Premium Tanzania trip was amazing. Our guide was brilliant and the accommodation especially the tented accommodation was an amazing experience. We got very lucky with our Safari drives but was in part created by the skills of the drivers. The drives are very manageable. The food was amazing. Overall highly recommend the tour.
